Congress proposes lots of bills. It gives House and Senate members something to do when they aren’t busy putting on a circus like their Russian snipe hunt. We hear about bills when they are important enough to stand a chance of becoming law and especially when they punch a hot button. Some of the hype is true. Much of it isn’t. How do you know what to believe? When you hear … [Read more...] about How to Read the Bill So Congress Can’t Lie To You About It
Government Ethics
When the ends justify the means government ethics is an anachronism. Classic abuses like corruption in office are difficult to ignore and are usually punished sooner or later. A noteworthy exception is the Democrat Party's successful stonewalling of James Comer's investigation into Joe and Hunter Biden's alleged influence peddling schemes and compromise by China and Ukraine.
The worst kinds of unethical behavior are the ones we never see. They undermine what America stands for and what we value. Examples are political rhetoric that distorts the truth, pandering to big money donors, and selecting special interests for legislative favoritism.
All of these things point to how government ethics falls by the wayside when opportunity knocks at the offices of self-serving politicians.

From propaganda to fake new politics to outright thievery, if there is money and power to be had government ethics will be an inconvenience for politicians who place themselves above the best interests of the people.

Dumping Trump Won’t End Democratic Hate for the Right
A world where we all agree to put our heads in the sand was supposed to end this year. The time had come. We were going to get something done. Instead, we are overwhelmed by an insatiable Democratic hatred of everything right that is focused on dumping Trump, as if getting rid of a president is going to soothe the animosity that is tearing this country apart. Have the … [Read more...] about Dumping Trump Won’t End Democratic Hate for the Right
Liberal Conspiracy Theories Behind New Progressive Budget
Liberals are still adding to the fantasy that foreign interference ruined their bid to keep control of the country. Donald Trump added to the paranoia this week when he axed James Comey. The hearings will drone on interminably no matter what comes of that hasty maneuver. Mountains of time will be wasted. Democrats will chase their tails over a panoply of liberal conspiracy … [Read more...] about Liberal Conspiracy Theories Behind New Progressive Budget
